How to convert MPG to MP4

  1. Drop the video.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download the MP4.

What happens to your file

The video is decoded and re-encoded as H.264 with AAC sound in a fast-start MP4 — the one file phones, TVs, Windows, Macs and every browser play — at a quality most people cannot tell from the original.

MPEG-2 is large by today’s standards; the MP4 is usually a third of the bytes or less at the same look.

Questions

Can I convert a whole DVD?

One VOB at a time, up to the size limit. A DVD’s main film is split across several VOBs; convert them and merge is coming.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "video.convert",
    "options": {}
  }'

The same operation, video.convert — Anything playable becomes H.264+AAC in a faststart MP4 — or, by `container`, MOV, MKV, or VP9+Opus WebM. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
